Connect

Learning together with the first cohort of the ALA Policy Corps in D.C.

Networking with colleagues and getting to meet with people who share my passion for libraries are some of the greatest joys of professional development! The chance to connect, expand my network and hear to your concerns and point of view about the future of our association are critically important to me.
